So, do allow the shimmering lights of summer to refresh and illuminate
- your fertile young minds. - What's she talking about?
The future greets you with its magic mirror,
reflecting each golden moment, each emboldened choice.
Dude, Miss Darbus has snapped her cap.
Dude, you're actually listening?
Yes, Jason.
So, what was your favorite summer memory, Miss Darbus?
(ALL GROANING)
Summers have passed fleetingly since I was your age,
but I remember each with poignant clarity.
Summer. Summer.
Summer.
BOTH: Summer.

Yeah!
No, but seriously, guys, this summer I gotta make bank.
My parents keep talking about how much college is gonna cost.
Yeah, my folks are gonna match whatever I make,
but I gotta get hired first.
Me, too. I'm saving up for a car,
so I can take that little hottie on a proper date.
Gabriella.
I understand you've moved every summer for the past five years,
and I'd hate to think today is goodbye.
No worries. My mom promised I'm here until graduation next year.
Bless Mom's little heart.
Sharpay, we got off to a rough start, but you really came through.
I mean, you helped me with the winter musical.
I did?
Those vocal exercises?
(TRILLING)
(EX CLAIMS)
See you.
Gabriella and I have had, like, five job interviews,
but we keep getting beat out by college kids.
Yeah, same here. I guess I'm back in the babysitting business.
Hey, Martha. Hey, Taylor.
Hey, Kelsi, what are you planning to do this summer?
Grow, write music. Grow.
Your summer activities consultant has arrived.
Hopefully some of those activities will include a job.
Hey, whatever happens, as long as we're together, it's cool, right?
You promise?
Here's my promise.
- "T" as in Troy? - Well, I... Yeah.
Hey, man, how's it going? There you go, boss.
Hoops. Let's go.
Yeah, sure, sure. We're not busy or anything. Let's go.
TROY: We could go to the movies, download music.
Oh, I'm definitely teaching you a twisted-flip on the skateboard.
Oh, and I have first-aid training, so I can patch myself up afterwards.
All right!
"Going to movies, listening to music.
"And, golly, Troy, I have first-aid training."
(MIMICKING GIGGLING)
Oh, please.
Oh. Come here, Kelsi. I have a summer job for you.
At our country club.
Our rehearsal pianist is evidently moving.
Or hiding.
- Pardon? - Sounds great.
Cheer up, Shar, it's summer.
We can do whatever we want to. Everything changes.
Ryan, who's the absolute primo boy at East High?
I'd say Troy Bolton has that category pretty much locked up, don't you think?
And East High's primo girl?
- Just answer the question! - Gosh, you?
Troy, Sharpay. Sharpay, Troy. Sharpay...
Shar.
- It just makes sense. - Evidently not to Troy.
But it's summer, Ry. Everything changes.

ALL: Wildcats!
All right!
Yo, time for milk.
- So, guys, how's the job hunt coming? - The big zero.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
- Uh-oh. Girlfriend alert. - Talk to me.
This is Thomas Fulton, General Manager
of Lava Springs Country Club here in Albuquerque.
I understand you've been looking for summer work.
Hey, Troy, does Gabriella still remember your name,
or did she find somebody new to karaoke with this summer?
That sounds fantastic, Mr. Fulton. But how did you get my name?
Well, we've always had a student summer work program
here at Lava Springs. So, are you ready?
Here's the thing. I know the most amazing girl... I mean, student.
Straight A's, quintuple straight A's,
and it would be so amazingly perfect if...
Man, he's really working someone.
It can't be Gabriella. Whenever she calls, he just blushes.
Yeah, I never said that.
Yes!
- What's up, dog? - Nothing. Nothing. Nothing!
Okay. I'll tell you what, you guys stick together this summer,
you work on the game, and we are talking back-to-back
- championships next fall. - Yeah!
(ALL WHOOPING)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Can we all redirect this energy by carrying in the groceries?
- Yes, Mrs. Bolton. - Yes, Mrs. Bolton.
MAN ON RADIO: Hey, we're kicking off another hot summer
here in Albuquerque.
So, for those cool enough to have a convertible,
crank up the sound, breathe that fresh air,
and say hello to summer!
Miss Evans, Mr. Evans, looking very sharp this summer.
Welcome back to Lava Springs.
Thank you, Charles.
Hi, boy!
Oh, can you find some shade for my car?
- Even if we have to plant a tree. - Fulton.
And may I say, welcome back.
It's good to be home.
Are the flyers ready?
This year we embossed the flyers for the show.
Inspired.
I plan to limit member talent auditions to 30 seconds each.
Amateur performers are very...
- Draining? - Yes.
Understood.
And should I...
(CLEARING THROAT)
We be so fortunate as to win the Star Dazzle Award again.
But where would we put it?
We're planning on expanding the trophy case.
The designs are in my office.
- Fulton, you are so efficient. - Well...
The staffing matter we discussed?
Done. With discretion.
Fabulous.
- Oh, stop it. Yes. Yes. - SHARPAY: Ryan!
- ALL: Sharpay! - Girls.
Your chaise in its usual spot, Miss Evans?
Thank you, Javier.
Emma, Jackie and Lea, east of me.
Oh, and you'll be a prince to angle our chaises on the hour, as the sun moves.
Well, thanks to the kind words from your mother last season,
I've been promoted.
But, no worries, I'll make sure that the new lifeguard
is fully briefed on just how you like things.
So, what's the theme of the summer talent show, Sharpay?
- Redemption. - Love it.
It was a very trying year, ladies.
My drama department was invaded by outsiders,
singers coming from the chemistry lab and locker room. Shocking, really.
Sis, we've got the pool, the entire club, and the whole summer to enjoy it.
And the spa has been redone.
There's a guacamole facial and a seaweed body scrub on the menu.
What could be more fabulous?
- More ice. - Right away, Miss Evans.
(SINGING) It's out with the old And in with the new
Goodbye, clouds of gray Hello, skies of blue
A dip in the pool A trip to the spa
Endless days in my chaise The whole world according to moi
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Iced tea imported from England
Lifeguards imported from Spain
Towels imported from Turkey
And turkey imported from Maine
We're gonna relax and renew
You go do

All things fabulous Bigger and better and best
I need something inspiring to help me get along

Fetch me my Jimmy Choo flip-flops

Then I can go for a float
A summer like never before
I want more

Absolutely.
Not.
Yeah!
(SCREAMS)
(SHARPAY SCREAMING)
GABRIELLA: I got you. I got you. It's okay.
- What are you doing here? - I'm the new lifeguard.
Wait, are you a member here?
(EX CLAIMING IN DISGUST)
I told you to hire Troy Bolton, not the entire East High student body!
You told me to hire Troy Bolton. "Whatever it takes."
Well, why didn't you warn me about the rest of them?
I did discuss the matter with the Lava Springs board, of course.
The board. You mean, our...
Mother!
(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)
Gabriella Montez and the Wildcats? Mother, how could you?
Think of your future, kitten.
These are your school chums, not the fuddy-duddy Lava Springs staff.
These are not my chums!
They'll steal my talent show.
And what fresh talent you'll have for your summer show.
Mother, did you hear what I just said?
(EXHALES)
(GRUNTS ANGRILY)
Ryan, talk to Mother.
- Hi, Mom. - Ducky! How's my dashing boy?
(SIGHS)
Tell pumpkin if she worries too much, she'll get frown lines.
Namaste.
- I want them out! - But your mother specifically said...
Oh, don't mention that backstabbing yogini to me!
If you can't fire them, make them wanna quit.
I'm hoping Chef Michael's gonna teach me
the art of Austrian flake pastry.
And Sharpay's gonna be where I work every day.
How much better can summer get? Right? Right?
- A real dream come true. - Lf you actually get to know her,
- I mean she's... - Dude.
Hey, I didn't even know Sharpay's parents owned this place.
Mr. Fulton just said, you know,
there's Wildcat fans at Lava Springs, and jobs are available.
So, I said let's go for it.
Inspiring, Mr. Bolton. Truly inspiring.
However, what we're looking for from all of you,
is not inspiration, but perspiration.
Confirming assignments. Bolton, Danforth, waiters.
And, when needed, caddies.
What?
Miss McKessie, I'm told that you're efficient.
- Well... - Prove it.
You'll handle member activities. Keep me in sight at all times.
Kelsi, piano. Lunchtime and cocktail hour.
That means mood music, not new music.
Capisce?
Martha, chopping, cutting, preparing plates.
Do complete the summer with the equal amount of digits
I assume you currently possess.
Oh, Zeke, you will assist Chef Michael in the...
The promised land.
You hold on to that.
Mr. Fulton, Your Excellency, sir,
would it be okay if we draw straws to see who has to wait on Sharpay?
Please, none of you will be waiting on Sharpay.
Oh, yes. Snap.
- You will be serving Miss Evans. - Who's that?
Always address our members as Mr., Mrs., or Miss. Let's practice.
- Do we have to? - Shall we?
"Miss Evans, would you care for lemonade?"
Actually, I'm not Miss Evans. I'm Jason.
- It smells so good and I am so hungry. - No, wait. You don't...
- No, no, no. - GABRIELLA: What's for lunch?
Miss Montez.
It would seem your lunch break does not start for 3.5 minutes.
I do hope no members drowned in your absence.
Henceforth, do clock in and out on time.
Three infractions of any kind, and your employment is terminated.
Capisce?
Chop, chop, chop.
- Okay, that man officially scares me. - Yeah.
Suddenly, I'm beginning to miss detention with Miss Darbus.
- How sick is that? - Come on.
We got a hoop out back, two free meals a day,
and we only have to wear these stupid outfits on duty.
All for one, and one for all. All right?
- This is our summer. Now, what team? - ALL: Wildcats!
- What team? - Wildcats!
Come on.
(SINGING) How did we get from the top of the world to the bottom of the heap?
I don't recall you mentioning the boss is such a creep
We still have the ingredients to make this summer sweet
Well, we got rags instead of riches
And all these dirty dishes
Just wish I had three wishes
Okay, guys, break it up.
We've got to work, work to work this out
We'll make things right The sun will shine
If we work, work, there'll be no doubt
We can still save the summer if we work this out
Dude, what have you gotten us into?
Come on. We can totally turn this thing around!
I'd rather face a seven footer straight up in the post
Yeah That sure beats hanging here
And burning someone's toast
I needed Benjamins But this ain't worth the stress
Maybe there's a better way to fix this greasy mess
We're a champion team A well-oiled machine
And we've faced tougher problems than this
I know it's a grind But I'm sure we can find
A way to have fun while we get this job done
We've got to work, work to work this out
We'll make things right The sun will shine
We got to work, work There'll be no doubt
If we all come together We can work this out
Let's work it!
(TAPPING RHYTHMICALLY)
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
A little bit of sugar
A little bit of butter
It's the perfect recipe
Payday It'll taste so sweet
Payday Good enough to eat
Gonna make some motion pictures
Hit the mall with all my sisters
Get tickets to the Knicks and Sixers
Kick it with the music mixers
Buy a ride that suits my style
Lounge around the pool awhile
Make a date with my favorite girl
We've got it made
Whoa, we've got to work, work to work this out
We'll make things right The sun will shine
If we work, work, there'll be no doubt
We can still save the summer If we work this out
Work this Got to work this
We can work this out
So, can we work this out?
Yeah, we can work it out.
FULTON: Send the waiters right in.
Miss me? Of course you did.
Hey, you ever been on a golf course?
We're employees, Troy. Not members. And I don't play golf.
Who said anything about golf?
Are you sure it's okay for us to be out here?
Yeah, unless the jackrabbits turn us in.
So, how's kitchen duty?
Oh, you know, the team that washes dishes together, wins together.
My mom said summer jobs look good on college applications.
All part of the frightening concept called "our future."
Are you worried?
Hey, college costs a fortune.
My parents are saving pennies, unlike the people at this place.
You're a cinch for a scholarship.
I'm only as good as whatever happens next season. It's...
I always liked the idea of being in charge of my future,
until it actually started happening.
So, let's just think about right now,
because I've never been in one place for an entire summer,
and this means a lot to me, especially being here with...
Such an outstanding peanut-butter and-jelly-sandwich maker like me?
I want to remember this summer, Troy.
- Here, catch. - Oh, I love this game.
- Ready? - Go.
(EX CLAIMS)
- Beautiful. - Very nice! Oh. Your turn.
- You didn't catch a single one of them. - You...
TROY: That was so bad.
(GABRIELLA GIGGLING)
Fulton, when I was on the fourth fairway today,
it seemed bone dry.
Oh, no way!
Could you tell maintenance to give it a little extra splash?
No way!
- May I have this dance? - Why, of course you may.
Let's go then.
You are gonna get so wet!
Yeah!
Keep an eye on them tomorrow and keep me posted.
Why are you smiling?
No worries, Ryan. This is our turf, remember?
First a break-time infraction, now frolicking on the golf course.
We are not off to an auspicious start, are we, Miss Montez?
Actually, Mr. Fulton, this was my idea, so she's...
How gallant, but irrelevant.
We won't allow this to happen again, will we?
Good morning, everybody.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Smells good. That smells good. - Hey, Martha.
- Hey. - Hey, Jason.
- Hey, morning. - What's up?
(SINGING) Yeah You are the music in me
- Sounding good, Kels. - Thanks.
Actually, I need to go get ready for the ladies' luncheon.
Won't exactly be rocking out.
You know, I am so excited about the club's talent show.
I mean, the employees get to do a number,
and I have ideas for everyone.
You guys can sing the lead,
and maybe Zeke and Chad can do backup,
and everyone can dance.
Big timeout on that one.
My singing career began and ended with the East High Winter Musical.
I'm just here to make a check and sneak in the pool after work.
That's... That's really it.
Oh.
What was that you were playing a minute ago?
Oh, it's... It's nothing. It's just nothing.
What's this?
Well, I was thinking if you'd do the show,
that I wanted to be ready, and I wrote this for you guys.
Come on. Go.
(VOCALIZING)
(SINGING) Yeah
You are the music in me
You know the words "Once upon a time"
Make you listen, there's a reason
When you dream There's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice above the noise
And like a common thread
You're pulling me
When I hear my favorite song I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
(ALL VOCALIZING)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You are the music in me
It's like I knew you before we met Can't explain it
There's no name for it
I sang you words I've never said
- And it was easy - So easy
Because you see the real me
As I am, you understand
And that's more than I've ever known, oh
To hear your voice above the noise
And know I'm not alone
Oh, you're singing to me
When I hear my favorite song I know that we belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
You are the music in me
Together we're gonna sing
We got the power to sing what we feel
Connected and real
Can't keep it all inside
Oh, yeah
- Oh, yeah - Yeah, yeah, yeah
You are the music in me
Oh, yeah
You are the music in me
When I hear my favorite song I know that we belong
We belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us It's brought us here because
You are the music in me
Oh yeah Oh yeah
You are the music in me
Yeah
(ALL CHEERING)
- Oh, I love that song. - TROY: Great job, Kels.
Oh, I've got the talent show sign-up sheet right here. Are you in?
Maybe we can work this out, but only if we're all in this together.
Yeah!
This is going to be fantastic.
I'm going to coordinate rehearsal to coincide with all of our schedules.
Goldenthroat, this is Jazz Square. We may have trouble.
RYAN: Now, it's an amazing song, but Kelsi didn't write it for us.
Hi, Mom.
- Seaweed scrub, darling? - Maybe later.
Ryan, it might be wonderful if Troy participates in our talent show.
What? If he sings with Gabriella
then our whole show is going to be the "Troy and Gabriella Show."
I'm not certain Gabriella is ideally suited
to help Troy realize his full potential at Lava Springs.
Mommy, what time is Daddy gonna be here?
We tee off at noon. Join us?
Love to.
(WHIMPERING)
(ALL VOCALIZING)
(ENGLISH ACCENT) Up. And how shall we get to the food today, sir?
- I don't know, perhaps skipping. - Very well then.
Shall we?
Hipty scouty, hipty skipty, hipty skipty, hipty skipty...
Danforth, Bolton, you're caddying today.
$40 a bag. You've been requested.
- What? - By who?
Dude, who cares? For $40, I'd caddy for Godzilla.
Close, very close.
Thank you.
- Thanks. - Thanks, man.
Hey, boys! So, Troy, I thought it was time for you to meet my parents.
Oh.
Enchantee.
- Awesome. - Hi.
Hello.
So, where's your dad?
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
(EX CLAIMS)
SHARPAY: Hi, Daddy!
Where's the first tee and what's the course record?
I'm just kidding. I built the course myself and I hold the record,
but who's counting? Princess.
- Son, you've been working out. - Yoga.
Bring that around, there you go. Quite a season you boys had.
Oh, Troy played for the golf team, too, Daddy.
Oh, versatile. How about you, son?
- Baseball. Track and field. - Outstanding.
Might come in handy the way I play golf. Fair warning.
Fore!
- Brilliant, darling. Brilliant. - Lovely.
Chad, you'll be caddying for Mother. Troy, Daddy.
BOTH: Daddy.
Bravo!
Brilliant. Let's take a walk.
- Is that a new outfit? - Yes, just this morning. And yours?
MR. EVANS: This old thing? I got it last week.
Come on, Chad.
What do you think?
Well, it's 190 to the pin, downhill lie, elevated green.
I'd go with a full five, sir.
Hi.
- Nice call. - All right.
(SHRIEKS)
Princess, grab your pitching wedge. This one's yours.
Thanks, Daddy.
MR. EVANS: Line it up.
Oops.
That's my girl.
That girl needs to take up knitting.
Or some sport where she can only injure herself.
- I'm in the sand. - Me, too.
(EX CLAIMS)
Knees, hips, shoulders, hat. Good. Drill it.
Backboard.
BOTH: Yes!
That's my boy.
(ALL GRUNTING)
- Where... - I have no idea.
Gabriella! Dinner tonight? Sneak a swim?
Troy!
- Oh, lovely, darling. - Nice.
Daddy, why not let Troy try a shot?
- Of course. Of course. - No, I shouldn't.
- Come on. - Are you sure?
- Yeah! - MR. EVANS: Yes, sir.
- Are you sure it's okay, Mr. Evans? - It sure is.
- Give it a ride. - Thank you.
- Here you go, Daddy. - Thank you, dear.
MR. EVANS: That's a beautiful swing. MRS. EVANS: Really beautiful.
That is a beautiful swing.
- CHAD: That was awesome. - Thanks, man.
- Come on! What do you say we... - What? I don't know.
MR. EVANS: Off we go.
I'm saving up for a car. I'm saving up for a car.
(MRS. EVANS CHEERS)
Well, Tiger Woods would have been proud to make that putt!
What a shame that Troy is only bussing dishes all summer,
given that he's a potential star for your alma mater, Daddy.
I've seen Troy play basketball.
I think the U of A Redhawks will be very interested in him.
That's inspired, Daddy. Troy is very concerned about college.
- Really? - Yeah.
- How's Coach Bolton these days? - Oh, fantastic.
Outstanding.
What?
Oh, next time I see Country Club Princess,
I'm gonna launch her and her pink cart straight into the lake.
I'll build the ramp, buddy.
Danforth, this is a kitchen, not a day spa.
You and Jason suit up for dinner duty in the dining room.
Bolton, you have five minutes to change and come with me.
In case you're not familiar with this particular item,
it goes around your neck,
like a dog collar.
Chop-chop.
(GUESTS LAUGHING)
- And she stepped on the ball. - I did not.
- Yes, you did. - MAN: I can believe that.
Hey! Here's our superstar. Troy Bolton, this is Peter.
- Peter. Good to meet you. - How are you?
- This is Claire. - Hello.
- And you know the family. - Hello.
This kid's pretty handy on the fairways as well as the hard court.
Bet you worked up yourself an appetite
lugging those bags all over the place, huh?
Yeah, yeah. A little bit.
What do you say we get some food, and we can talk about your future.
- My future? - Yeah, sit down.
PETER: Have a seat.
Daddy's on the board of directors at the University of Albuquerque.
So, Troy, I saw your championship game. I mean, wow!
That last-second shot at the buzzer... Outstanding.
Actually, my teammates here stole the ball,
otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance...
Oh, you're much too modest, Troy.
You were voted MVP for the entire season.
(ALL EX CLAIMING)
This shirt positively screams for a Windsor knot.
- Thank you. - Let me get that for you.
You know, we've got a heck of a basketball program over at U of A,
and an excellent scholarship program as well.
Scholarship?
Yeah. You know, between the two of us here,
we... We pull a little weight over at the school.
Well, time flies when you're having fun,
but Mr. Fulton will probably want me clocking out.
Come on. Don't be silly.
You haven't had any dessert, and we haven't talked about golf, yet.
Oh, basketball and golf are just the beginning with Troy, Daddy.
Have you heard him sing?
MR. EVANS: Oh, triple threat.
Oh, how wonderful. Troy can participate in the talent show.
Oh, come on, Troy. Give them a sample. Kelsi!
Kelsi. No, actually my voice is...
Is feeling a little bit hoarse tonight, you know, all the talking.
But thank you very much for the food and the golf and everything.
It was amazing.
But you will sing some other time, though? With me. Promise?
- Promise. - Perfect.
Dessert?
Sorry I'm late! Give me two more minutes.
Nice tie. Your shoes don't match though. Kidding.
Honey, two minutes is being late, but an hour is approaching a felony.
Just because Troy's a nice guy, doesn't mean he's immune to boy disease.
Boy disease?
Yeah, forgetting things he shouldn't forget.
Oh, so now you're a boy expert?
My older sister has 10 rules about boy behavior,
and nine of them involve boys forgetting things
they should never forget, like dinner dates.
Well, it wasn't an official date type of thing.
Rule number three, all dates are official,
whether the boy knows it or not.
- You're not done. - But I'm done for the day, sir.
And actually, I have a date.
Mr. Bolton, you're under the mistaken impression
I'm interested in what you have to say. Just follow me.
- But I... - No more speaking.
(FULTON SHUSHING)
- Hey, where are we going? - Please, Mr. Bolton.
- How long is this gonna take? - Watch your step. Insurance issues.
I'm supposed to have a date tonight.
But the evening is young and so are you.
Well, where are we?
Hold your applause until the very end.
(EX CLAIMS)
What the heck? Mr. Fulton?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(SINGING) A long time ago In a land far away
Lived the pineapple princess, Tiki
She was sweet as a peach In a pineapple way
But so sad that she hardly speaky
Still, if you listen well You'll hear her secret wish
Aloha, everybody, my name is Tiki.
I long to free A truly remarkable fish
My sweet prince
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Makahiki malihini who
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a Ooh
Hawana waka, waka, waka Niki pu, pu, pu
Ryan, the fog!
RYAN: (SINGING) She dreams of a boy Who is under a spell
That has left him all wet and scaly
I sing from my heart Of the power of love
Just a girl with a ukulele
- Come to me - Come to her
- My sweet one, and be still - Be still
I'll grasp your tail Then stroke each tender gill
My sweet prince
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Makahiki malihini who
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a Ooh
Hawana waka, waka, waka Niki pu, pu, pu
Now this is where we lead into the whole Kabuki thing.
The clouds turned gray And the big sky cried
And the ocean had a fit
Ryan! Where's my ocean?
Then the wind went whoosh And thunder cracked
And mighty Mount Fufu spit Mighty Mount Fufu spit
Tiki, Tiki Want to speaky, speaky, speaky
With the mighty spirit Fufu
Tiki, Tiki Want to speaky, speaky, speaky
- The words I will not mince - Word!
Please make a man Of my fresh fish prince
This is real fish talk. No lie.
(GARGLING)
And then the fish turns into a gorgeous prince and sings...
(IN DEEP VOICE) I'm Prince Humu Humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
No. No way.
Makahiki malihini who
With me.
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Hawana waka, waka, waka Niki pu, pu, pu
Everybody!
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Makahiki malihini who
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Hawana waka, waka, waka Niki pu, pu, pu
Waka, waka, waka Niki pu, pu, pu
One minute.
SHARPAY: We'll talk about this later.
So, you love it?
Look, you ever tried just singing?
I mean, without all the lights and sets and, like, backup people?
Well, it'd be much harder to get applause that way.
I'm not talking about applause.
I'm talking about hanging out with friends.
You know, doing nothing, and singing for fun.
(GASPS) Wait a minute. Not doing anything.
That might work. A dark stage, a single spotlight.
We break out of darkness into the circle of light.
- Wait, "we"? - No set, no frills.
- Oh, man. - Simple.
Dramatic. Just you and me.
That is such a great idea, Troy. We could do it at our club talent show.
Look, I'm here to work.
Sharpay, I already told you being onstage really is your thing,
it's not mine.
It could be our thing.
(EX CLAIMS) Time out on that one, okay? I've got an "our thing,"
it's with Gabriella, and... And I'm very late for her, so I got to go.
- But the show could be so amazing... - I love your shoes.
- You like them? - I really do.
I bought them in New York. I have them in nine colors.
Girls! Again from the top.
Hey, lifeguard!
You're crazy, Wildcat!
And so late, but I brought food, a few little candles.
I'm good for a poolside picnic. What do you say?
Zeke even made desserts. But first, I dare you to jump in.
You know we're not supposed to be in the pool. Club rules.
Cramp!
I need a lifeguard! Rescue me! Rescue me!
Here I come!
Thanks for coming in. Follow me.
(COYOTE HOWLING)
Oh, listen.
You know, right now, with you,
it's finally starting to feel like summer.
Yeah, it is.
The water bugs are back.
Look, Mr. Fulton, this was my idea, she had nothing to do with it.
I generously overlooked your previous break violation,
but then came the golf course jaunt,
and now this. Two strikes.
Don't get a third. Out of the pool.
Sharpay's dad let me play a few holes
and then invited me to dinner with some U of A alumni.
Really?
And they were talking about scholarships,
while Jason and Chad were, like, serving me.
And getting paid for it. It's called a job.
You were invited, nothing wrong with that.
Yeah. I don't know. It felt weird.
I love that you've got the team working together,
but you're not gonna be a Wildcat forever.
The team is now, and that's... It's good,
but everybody's got their own future.
I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Well, when you graduate,
lots of people are gonna be chasing the same opportunities.
There's nothing wrong with keeping your eye on the prize.
In fact, if you don't, you get left behind.
Yeah, I know, I'm just saying, I didn't get my friends jobs at the club
so they could sit and watch me eat in the dining room.
You know, I'm just saying never be ashamed of attention,
as long as you've earned it.
You know, a scholarship's special,
that's why there's only a few to go around.
Yeah, yeah. I get it, Dad.
Okay. So, how was the food at Lava Springs?
Insanely good.
- Take it out for a spin. - No way.
Well, you didn't think I was going to drive this heap, did you?
Yes! Yes!
Okay, bring those knees up as high as you can and circle those arms.
Hey, water bug. Last night was so fun.
I really didn't mean to get you in trouble.
Same here.
- So, maybe today we can have our... - SHARPAY: Troy?
What time is your lunch break?
Troy!
- 1:30. - 1:30, great.
Free cheeseburgers are on me. Everybody looks great. Awesome job.
Okay, now, some jumping jacks.
Hey. What is she up to?
- Who knows? - Believe me, she does.
I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. Fulton,
but about the pool thing last night, you can't blame Gabriella...
- I'm promoting you. - You're what?
There's an opening as an assistant to the golf pros.
Salaried job, no clocking in.
- But, I... - $500 a week, plus tips.
What? Per week?
Oh, my... That's off the hook! I think it sounds very manageable.
Shall we?
FULTON: Bolton!
- Wait. So you want me to teach golf? - To kids. Oh, the joy.
- But, sir, I don't think I'm qualified. - Worry not.
Simply show the little angels which end of the club to hold,
tee the ball up, then duck.
In addition, the board is extending membership privileges to you.
You have complete use of club facilities, but do so prudently,
meaning, fellow Wildcats? Not.
Congratulations.
(EX CLAIMS)
You'll find an appropriate choice of clothing here.
Do not mix checks with plaids, blue with browns,
and avoid wearing white socks at all cost.
Leave your shoes outside the locker,
they will be buffed and polished each evening.
Yes! Oh, man!
Save it for the first tee.
And to get there, this might come in handy.
That's the key to your golf cart. Number 14.
The same number that's on your basketball uniform, so I'm told.
Questions?
How did this happen?
It would seem that the Evans family thinks you have untapped potential.
Young man, the future is full of uncharted waters,
and this family has real clout, so I suggest you take the ride.
Yeah.
Italian.
Awesome, junior golfers! You guys look amazing!
Hey! Hey! Slow down, champ. Slow down.
Save some for the other kids. There you go.
Cool shorts, buddy.
All right. Hey. Hey, cutie. Try holding the club that way,
you're going to hit it way farther.
All right. Nice backswing, man. Nice backswing.
Good job, killer. Make the ball fear you.
You look good. Great job, everybody. Good job, guys!
- Bolton. Bolton. Your 11:30 is here. - Thanks, man.
Good luck, buddy.
Troy!
Oh, man.
(SHARPAY GIGGLING)
- Cool balls. - Thanks.
You're welcome.
By the end of summer, you'll have me playing like a pro.
Yeah.
(EX CLAIMS)
If I live that long.
I'm so excited about the show.
Oh, and don't worry. We'll find something great to do.
Look, Sharpay, I already told you, singing really isn't my thing.
And here's the best news, all the Redhawk boosters will be there.
- Really? - Of course.
We'll lock up your scholarship with a high "C" right from center stage.
We're all in this together, right?
Your parents have been really, really nice, Sharpay,
but singing with you isn't a part of my job.
I know, just something you promised to do.
Remember?
You look fabulous in your new clothes, by the way.
- You like the shoes? They're Italian. - Nice.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Let me show you how this is done. It's really easy.
Just line up to your target. Nice, easy backswing.
- Hey, Gab. - Hey!
That girl's got more moves than an octopus in a wrestling match.
- Nah. He knows how to swim. - Yeah. Troy can handle himself.
I did overhear him asking her for her opinion
on his new Italian golf shoes.
He didn't ask me.
So, wake up, sister! She's basically offering him a college education
just to sing with her in the talent show.
- Troy would never do that. - TAYLOR: You got eyes, use them.
- Let's go eat. - Yeah, I got to go. Hey, see you later?
- Okay. - Okay.
You're going to take it back and through.
- Troy, Fulton wants you in the lobby. - Fantastic. Thank you. See you.
And she steps on the ball.
- Troy Bolton. This is... - I've seen them all play at U of A.
Oh, all right. Well, come scrimmage at our gym.
It'll be good for your game.
- Play with you guys? - Yeah. Let's get down, bro.
- Awesome. - All right.
- Let's all get some awesome lunch. - Yeah.
I knew it! Coral blue!
It's perfect for your skin tone. And mine, too!
We are majorly skin-tone compatible, Troy.
- I have no idea what that means. - You don't need to. I'm here for you.
- Who's hungry? - Let's eat.
I mean, how can you hit the ball straight if your clubs don't trust you?
- That's the key. So, it's all in the grip. - Okay.
You got to hold it just right. That looks great.
Hey, I almost forgot.
I ordered Swiss on my burger.
So, go ahead and check it out, man. Try it. See what you think.
Danforth, table three needs more iced tea.
Now, rotate your hands over the top.
- Put your thumb on that side. - Okay.
There you go, man. You're good. I'll see you on the course.
- Yeah. Let's do it, man. - Yeah.
- Zeke! Troy wants Swiss. - Coming right up.
You know, you were right.
There's a guy out there that looks just like Troy Bolton,
but I have no idea who he really is.
Oh, hey. Kelsi's got some great new ideas
- to spice up the talent show. It's got... - I'm thrilled.
That new duet that Troy and Gabriella sang? I need it.
- Actually, it's not available. - Repeat.
Well, it's something I wrote for Troy and Gabriella,
just in case they decide to...
You're an employee, not a fairy godmother. Let's have it.
Transpose it into my key. Troy and I will be doing it in the talent show.
Oh, and brighten up the tempo. We'll need to keep people awake.
What about our song?
- What about Humu Humu? - Change in plans.
What am I supposed to do with my Tiki Warrior outfit?
Save it for Halloween, go to a luau, sell it online. I don't know!
But in the meantime, keep an eye on those Wildcats.
If they're planning on being in the show,
which I doubt, once they hear about Troy and me,
I don't want any surprises. Oh, and don't worry,
I'll find a song for you somewhere in the show.
- Or the next show. - Really?
Don't strain yourself, slick.
Entertainers are so temperamental. Transpose!
(GROANS)
Look at you.
- Go, team. - Yeah. It's a gift from the guys.
The "guys"? Oh, you mean all those tall people?
Yeah. Yeah. Hey, look. I got to go in a minute,
but I'll be back in about an hour. I'll pick you up in my new truck
and we'll go to a movie. I promise.
"Promise" is a really big word, Troy.
Yeah. I know.
And we've got the staff baseball game after work.
Remember, you "promised" that you'd play?
Right. Right. Baseball. I will absolutely meet you there.
- You forgot, didn't you? - No. I just got the date mixed up.
And I'm sorry I couldn't make lunch today. I just...
It's been wild, you know?
I can't believe how things are working out here.
So I see. Italian golf shoes, new clothes, golf carts.
That's crazy stuff. Hard to keep track of it all, I bet.
So, what's your point?
It just doesn't seem like new stuff, it seems like a new Troy.
All right, let's see if Tiger Woods still has a jump shot.
- Hey, hey, Bolton! Come on! - Hey!
Why don't you tell them to come over here and mix it up?
We'll show them some game.
You know, I don't think that's how they roll.
That's not how they "roll"?
No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just think it's a closed practice. Sorry.
Wow. Well, maybe you can get us a video?
Bolton, come on!
But yesterday you said we were going to play two-on-two after work,
- before the baseball game. - I know. I know, man. I'm sorry.
Come on, Zeke, that was so yesterday. You know, when we were all on a team!
- Hey, man. - Hey, how's it going?
Hey, Bolton! That's my ball.
- Here we go! - How's it going, guys?
Would you guys be mad at me if I ask him to get me
one of those cool Redhawk jackets?
Hey. Come on.
I'm so excited about the game. It's going to be so cool.
Hey, Ryan. No rehearsals?
My sister is working up something new.
So, you coming to the baseball game?
I'm not staff. Wasn't invited.
Hey, everyone's invited. Come on. Hop in.
All right.
Hold on!
(TAYLOR WHOOPING)
All right! Right here!
TAYLOR: Beep, beep!
Beep, beep!
What, did Fulton send you out here to spy on us?
Nah, my sister did.
She thinks you guys are going to upstage her talent show.
Oh, no worries. We were going to do the show,
but then Troy bailed on us, so, whatever.
What do you mean "whatever"? It's our summer, remember?
I thought we decided doing the show would be fun.
- Well, I think so. - Me, too.
- Who are we kidding? - I don't think so.
We don't know how to put together a show.
No, but he does.
If we have a real director putting it together, it could be great.
Have the employees ever won a Star Dazzle Award?
- Hey, now... - I know what you can do, Ryan,
- so why not do it for us? - All right, look,
if you want to play ball, then grab a mitt, but I don't dance.
You don't think dancing takes some game?
- You got game? - A little.
(ALL EX CLAIMING)
ALL: Yes!
(ALL CHEERING)
Hey, pitcher. Ball.
CHAD: All right! Let's hustle! Come on! Wildcats!

PLAYER: Hey! Get back, get back!
Here we go, here we go! Defense, hold him tight!
Oh, dang!
MR. EVANS: This kid's good. I like what I'm seeing.
Troy gives 110, 24l7, that you can count on.
Here we go!
- Game. Game. - Good game!
Huh? Was I right?
Great.
All right, so you call that a "little" game?
Little League. World Series. Newport, Rhode Island.
Champions.
- Good job! - Nice hat.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
GABRIELLA: You're so awesome. RYAN: Hey.
What can I say?
- Troy, you ready to run it back? - Let's run it, man.
- All right. Let's go, yo. - Let's go.
Let's go, yo, let's go. Let's run it back.
(PLAYER WHOOPS)
- Looking good. - Wow, Wildcat!
- Too much? - Only in daylight.
- Yeah. - East High colors, very impressive.
- Hey. Be true to your school, right? - Absolutely.
Everyone's excited about doing the show.
Hey, I know everyone thinks that I'm Sharpay's poodle,
- but I really think that I could... - Hey.
If they were thinking that, they're not thinking that today.
How do you do that swing-step you did last night?
That's easy.
Hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
So, I called last night. I got hung up at the gym.
Hey, my dad says you're doing great with those college guys.
Oh. Yeah. They're awesome.
Playing with them is like being in another world.
Well, you missed out on a fun night. It was a great game.
But the dessert afterwards had to be the best part.
Her mom makes the best brownies
- in the entire world. - Yeah, I know. I've had them.
Well, I'll see you guys later.
Hey, LeBron, how'd it go with the Redhawks?
You know, they're very tall.
We got Vince from maintenance to play, so it worked out.
- In case you were wondering. - Maybe we could play later today.
I don't know. Check with Vince.
Well, Mr. Evans set up the workout, not me.
Did you even ask to include us, Captain?
I didn't go looking for the Redhawks, the Redhawks came to me. Okay?
I didn't sign up for this golf job, Fulton offered it. I said yes.
My decision. But I show up to work same as you, so chill, man.
You get a speck of dirt on your pants,
- and someone dry cleans you. - And you wouldn't do the same thing...
- lf I was as good as you? - I did not say that.
- You didn't have to! - And neither did you!
You know what? We didn't vote you captain because of your jump shot.
Okay, we did it because you're the guy who usually knows what's up.
- But I guess things change. - You think you got me all figured out?
Well, I don't think so. And I don't answer to you.
Then maybe you should start answering to yourself!
Look, we have been like brothers since pre-school.
If I don't know who you are these days, then who does?
Excuse me. You're all being paid to work, not play Dr. Phil. Chop-chop.
Table settings, nice. Oh. No, no.
No. No. No. Now, that? Fabulous.
Troy!
Daddy will make certain the entire scholarship committee is right here.
Perfect view.
I've already spoken to your mother.
They're going to be sitting at a table right next to ours.
It's going to be a fabulous evening.
- Come on. - Great.
SHARPAY: Rehearsal, everyone!
- Taylor, I'm signing off on everything. - Fabulous!
TAYLOR: Thank you, Mrs. Evans. MRS. EVANS: Good job.
Look, Sharpay. I know I promised I'd do this, but just take it easy on me.
I'm kind of new to the whole performing thing.
Five, six, seven, eight!
(VOCALIZING)
(SINGING) You are the music in
You are the music in Are the music in
You know the words "Once upon a time"
Makes you listen, there's a reason
And when you dream there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice
Above the noise
Like a common thread Sing it to me
When I hear my favorite song I know we belong
'Cause you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
It's here Because you are the music in me
You are the music in
Are the music in
(INAUDIBLE)
Harmony to the melody
Echoing inside my head
When I hear my favorite song I know we belong
'Cause you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
It's here Because you are the music in
Me, me, me, me, me
You are the music in
You are the music in me
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Great job! One second.
Great rehearsal!
Everybody break!
You know, Troy, I've always known you were special.
And it's pretty obvious I'm special, too.
I think we were meant to sing together, don't you?
I need some air.
Don't be long! We're going to run it again!
Show me what you got!
Come on, everybody! Here we go!
You're up! You're up! You're up first!
Here we go! Give it to me!
Come on! Oh, yeah!
You got it! Here we go! Pass it to me!
Come on, let's dance!
You're up! You're up!
Let's show them what we got!
Come on! All right!
RYAN: Oh, cut that! Get out of here!
- You got it! Hey. - Good job!
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
I said keep an eye on them, not turn them into the cast of Grease!
Pretty cool, huh?
Do you want us to lose the Star Dazzle Award to a bunch of dishwashers?
Us? Well, I guess that's showbiz.
When did you become one of them?
You know, I'll take that as a compliment.
But you and Troy have a good show, sis.
Oh, we plan to.
Give me a beat.
The Midsummer's Night Talent Show means something to me,
- and to my family. - Well...
Those Wildcats will turn it into a farce.
I'm... Your brother is one of "those Wildcats," I'm told.
Oh, don't you mention that traitor to us.
Employee involvement in the show is a tradition here.
Traditions change. My parents have important guests coming.
We'll need every employee working the party, and not on stage.
Pardon moi, but we're not just talking about employees,
we're talking about your classmates. You might want to think this one out.
All right.
Done. Now do it.
- Hi, Taylor. - Hi.
Distribute these in the staff area, but not until the end of shift.
- What? Wait! Mr. Fulton... - No discussion, Miss McKessie.
This is a business. Welcome to the world of adults
who wish to keep their jobs because they have mortgages they wish to pay,
tuition bills, car payments, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
So, sometimes, we have to perform tasks, however unpleasant,
that are necessary for that all-too-important paycheck
to land in our all-too-empty pockets!
- May I get you a cup of tea, Mr. Fulton? - Chamomile would be lovely.
- Go, Martha! Go, Martha! - Go, Martha! Go, Martha!
May I have your attention, please?
You guys, I need to make an announcement.
All junior staffers will be required to work on show night.
- What? - Yeah, it says,
"No staff participation in the show will be allowed. No exceptions."
KELSI: No show?
TAYLOR: There's a show. We're just not in it.
That's great.
I'm sorry, you guys. There's nothing we can do about it. It's Fulton's orders.
There's no way this is Fulton's idea.
Unless Fulton suddenly has blonde hair and wears designer flip-flops.
Excuse me.
- Totally! - Sharpay!
Forget about the rest of us, how about the fact
that your brother has worked extremely hard on this show?
Oh, boo-hoo. He'll be in the show. He'll do his celebrity impersonations.
And don't lecture me about Ryan,
given the way you've been interfering with Troy's future.
What?
You've gotten him written up by Fulton for sneaking on the golf course,
swimming after hours. I had to step in just to save Troy's job.
I'm not interested in what you think you're doing for Troy.
That's between you and him. But you're messing with my friends,
my summer, and that's not okay with me.
You don't like the fact that I won.
What's the prize? Troy? The Star Dazzle Award?
You have to go through all of this just to get either one?
No, thanks, Sharpay.
You're very good at a game that I don't want to play,
so I'm done here.
But you better step away from the mirror
long enough to check the damage that will always be right behind you.
Girls!
Hey. What do you mean you're done here?
I mean, you can't quit.
Us working together sounded good, but plans change and people change.
The club talent show is a big deal for Sharpay,
and evidently for your future, so it's cool.
Just make it happen.
- Wear your new Italian shoes. - Hey, I'm still me.
Blowing off your friends, missing dates?
- Lf that's you, it's good to know. - No, no, no, no, no.
I was only doing that because I'm working on the scholarship thing.
You know that.
But if along the way you act like someone you're not,
pretty soon that's who you become.
I meant what I said about movies and summer and just being together.
I'm sure you did, at the time.
But I also meant what I said, that I want to remember this summer.
But not like this, Troy.
(SINGING) I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us doesn't seem right these days
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try
Somehow the plan is always rearranged
It's so hard to say But I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here I hope you understand
We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now I gotta go my own way
Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to gray
And it's just too hard to watch it all Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today 'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now I gotta go my own way
What about us?
What about everything we've been through?
What about trust?
You know I never wanted to hurt you
What about me?
What am I supposed to do?
- I gotta leave, but I'll miss you - I'll miss you
Oh, so
I've got to move on and be who I am
Why do you have to go?
I just don't belong here I hope you understand
I'm trying to understand
We might find a place in this world someday
- But at least for now - I want you to stay
I gotta go my own way
I've got to move on and be who I am
What about us?
I just don't belong here I hope you understand
I'm trying to understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now I gotta go my own way
You're usually taking these right off the grill.
Maybe I've been eating too much at the club.
You've barely been out of this room the last three or four days.
- Let's call the guys, get a game going. - They wouldn't come even if I called.
I find that hard to believe.
Dad, do I seem different to you this summer?
You dress a lot better, that's for sure.
Oh, man, I'm serious. Maybe my friends are right,
maybe I'm turning into a jerk with new shoes.
New shoes, not a new kid. Where's this coming from?
I've been so focused on my future.
I mean, Gabriella quit. Chad won't talk to me.
I don't see the Wildcats running around here.
Is this about going after what you want?
Yeah, Dad. The scholarship's important. I get it.
Hey, hey.
Look, it's only a big deal if it makes sense to you.
I don't even know who I am anymore.
You know what?
I've known this kid for a long, long time.
And I got a lot of faith in him. He looks a lot like you.
I'm absolutely sure he's going to figure out the right thing to do.
It's so good. I cannot wait.
BO Y: Yeah, I'm eating so much breakfast,
I won't be able to eat my dinner at night.
KELSI: Oh, yeah. It's okay, Ryan's gonna help.
- I don't know. - We'll get it eventually.
Excuse me.
(SINGING) Everybody's always talking at me
Everybody's trying to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talking
I need to count on myself instead
- Did you ever - Lose yourself to get what you want?
- Did you ever - Get on a ride then wanna get off?
Did you ever
Push away the ones you should've held close?
Did you ever let go? Did you ever not know?
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Bet on me
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around Today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
How will I know if there's a path worth taking?
Should I question every move I make?
With all I've lost, my heart is breaking
I don't want to make the same mistakes
Did you ever
Doubt your dream will ever come true?
Did you ever
Blame the world but never blame you?
- I will never - Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game if I can't play it my way
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around Today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Oh, hold up
Gimme room to think Bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing Gotta do my own thing
Hold up
It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognize your face
Out on my own It's such a scary place
The answers are all inside of me
All I got to do is believe
I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop till I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan We'll end up on top
You can bet on it, bet on it bet on it, bet on
You can bet on it, bet on it, bet on it Bet on me
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around Today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it You can bet on me
This way.
What do you mean you're not doing the show?
- Exactly that. - We're singing a duet, Troy!
A duet means two people.
Well, mostly me in this case, but whatever! Duet!
I'm an employee. Employees aren't allowed in the show.
No, no, no, no. No, no. You're an honorary member.
Not anymore.
- I asked Fulton for my kitchen job back. - What?
Sharpay, I don't like the way you've been treating my friends.
And I don't like the way I've been treating them either,
so I'm doing something about it.
An entire table of University boosters are coming to see you, thanks to me.
So, I'll be their waiter. They'll be thrilled.
Troy, Troy. This could change your life!
I'm more interested in about what my friends think of me,
and what I think of myself.
Oh, we could all hold hands around the campfire some other time!
Right now we've got a show to do.
No. You've got a show to do. I got a kitchen to clean.
It's okay.
Kelsi, find Ryan.
TAYLOR: Welcome this evening. You'll be seated at table 21.
Kelly, will you escort them, please? Excellent.
Ladies, you look gorgeous
- this evening. Beautiful. - FULTON: And now, returning with
a abridged version of last year's tap-dancing epic,
Tina and her Tippety-Tappity Toes!
There you are! Thank goodness you've come to your senses.
Plug in the volcano. Humu Humu is back on.
Enjoy your pineapple on your own, sis. I'm not doing the show.
What? Oh, put some fresh batteries in your Tiki Warrior costume
- and let's get going! - Took your advice. Sold it online.
You've always wanted the spotlight. Now you've got it. Break a leg.
The curtain's up. Showtime!
Kelsi told us what went down between you and Sharpay.
I'm more interested in what went down between me and you, man.
- I was a jerk. - Yeah.
But, hey, brothers fight.
And they're still brothers.
(ALL CHEERING)
All right!
Guys, I messed up your show and I'm sorry.
Yeah, because show business is our entire lives, right?
Hey, I hope you haven't permanently filled my spot in the two-on-two game.
And, Ryan, I know how hard you must've worked on this show.
Making these Wildcats look good couldn't have been easy.
- Hey. - So, I apologize.
Hey, the truth is, we've all had a lot of fun.
At least, I have.
Hey, you gotta see this dude play baseball.
I'm looking forward to it.
- All right! - Yeah!
Troy, listen, all these people out there,
I don't really want to see my sister crash and burn.
At least, I think I don't. I think you should sing with her.
My life is over. I've been a good girl.
I've never lied, except when necessary.
I always bought my parents expensive gifts,
using their credit card, of course. But I don't deserve this humiliation!
You need to get out there. Mrs. Hoffenfeffer and her sock puppet
are stinking up the premises.
Well, the only thing that would make it any lovelier would be
that if I won that Star Dazzle Award! Sharpay, I'm going to find you.
That award, I tell you, it's mine! Mine! Mine!
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the... Oh, forget it.
How's your show going?
How's it going?
My show makes the captain of the Titanic
look like he won the lottery.
- I'll sing with you, Sharpay. - What?
I promised. And I keep my promises.
But what was the first thing you said to me when I started working here?
- Bring me more iced tea? - Think harder. We're...
- All in this together. - Exactly.
Well, we are.
So, let's get out there and knock them dead, Troy Bolton!
I do the show if the Wildcats do the show.
(GLASS BREAKING)
(AUDIENCE GASPING)
And I'd think fast.
I just sort of wish you were doing this for me.
You're a good guy, Troy.
And actually, right now, I think I like you better than I like myself.
Did I just say that?
SHARPAY: Girls! Places!
- Okay. Everyone. Ryan, the show's on. - Where's the music? Where's Troy?
Talked to Sharpay, everything's cool.
Hey, speaking of my sister, she wants you to learn a new song.
Everyday. I can't learn a new song!
- Kelsi will help you with it. - What?
- It's showtime! - Yeah!
CHAD: What team? ALL: Wildcats!
- What team? - Wildcats!
(SINGING) Once in a lifetime
And now it's time for our five-time
Star Dazzle Award winner, Miss Sharpay Evans,
singing this year with our assistant golf pro, Mr. Troy Bolton.
Where is Troy?
- Hey. Why did you switch songs? - Switch songs? What?
- Yeah, Ryan said... - FULTON: Bolton!
- But I didn't learn a new song. - Exactly.
Girls!
(SINGING) Once in a lifetime
Means there's no second chance
So I believe that you and me
Should grab it while we can
GABRIELLA: Make it last forever
And never give it back
It's our turn and I'm loving where we're at
BOTH: Because this moment's really all we have
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young And keep the faith
Every day
From right now
Gonna use our voices and scream out loud
Take my hand
Together we will celebrate
Celebrate
Oh, every day
(WILDCATS CHEERING)
They say that you should follow
And chase down what you dream
But if you get lost and lose yourself
What does it really mean?
No matter where we're going
Oh, yeah, it starts from where we are
There's more to life
When we listen to our hearts
And because of you I've got the strength to start
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young And keep the faith
Oh, every day
From right now
Gonna use our voices and scream out loud
Take my hand
Together we will celebrate
Oh, every day
We're taking it back We're doing it here together
It's better like that And stronger now than ever
We're not gonna lose
'Cause we get to choose That's how it's gonna be
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young And keep the faith
Keep the faith
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run

Well. If you'll all please take your seats.
I have one last task to perform this evening.
The Star Dazzle for this year goes to, of course, our one and only...
My brother, Ryan Evans!
(ALL CHEERING)
That's our boy!
Fix the hat.
GABRIELLA: (SIN GIN G) Yeah
You are the music in me
You know the words "Once upon a time"
Make you listen
there's a reason
When you dream There's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
GABRIELLA AND TROY: You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice above the noise
- Here's to the future. - No. Here's to right now.
And like a common thread
You're pulling me
When I hear my favorite song I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
- Because you are the music in me - Because you are the music in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You are the music in me
When I hear my favorite song I know that we belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
You are the music in me
CHAD: (SINGING) One, two, three, four

Coral blue! It's totally like your skin tone.
And mine, too! We are majorly skin-tone compatible, Troy.
My daughter.
Then maybe you should start answering to yourself!
(STAMMERING)
By the end of summer, you'll have me playing like a pro.
Oops.
If we live that long.
For you.
MAN: Cut!
Troy!
(STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL)
- Put it in forward. - It is!
the end :)
